" You Can’t Hurt Me Anymore "

" You Can’t Hurt Me Anymore "
(Lyrics By Gerald Logan)

( Verse 1 )

The nights were cold, the silence loud,
I lost myself in the shame I allowed.
Your whispers hurted  they cut to the bone,
But I’ve found the courage to stand on my own.

( Chorus )

You can’t hurt me anymore,
I’ve nailed shut that broken door.
The tears ran dry, the chains are gone,
I found my voice, I found my song.
Your scent still lingers, but I won’t fall,
I’m stronger now, I’ve faced it all.
No… you can’t hurt me anymore.

( Verse 2 )

I wore the weight of every lie,
Carried your burden ‘til my soul ran dry.
But ashes give way to a brighter flame,
I’m not your prisoner, I’ve reclaimed my name.

( Chorus )

You can’t hurt me anymore,
I’ve nailed shut that broken door.
The tears ran dry, the chains are gone,
I found my voice, I found my song.
Your scent still lingers, but I won’t fall,
I’m stronger now, I’ve faced it all.
No… you can’t hurt me anymore.

( Bridge )

Let the steel guitar cry where my heart once bled,
Let the piano play the words I never said.
I’ve been broken, but I’m not the same,
I rose from the ashes, I buried your name.

( Final Chorus )

You can’t hurt me anymore,
I’ve nailed shut that broken door.
The tears ran dry, the chains are gone,
I found my voice, I found my song.
Your scent  still lingers, but I stand tall,
I’ve risen higher than your fall.
No… you can’t hurt me anymore.

( Outro )

No, you can’t hurt me…
Can’t hurt me…
Anymore.
